Susan was born on May 3, 1946 in Cincinnati, Ohio.  She was a devoted mother of two children.  Susan was multi-talented.  She worked as a secretary for many years as well as a finisher in construction.  She had a passion for horses throughout her life and was a member and writer for the Rockcastle Saddle Club.  She was also a wonderful artist and sketched many beautiful pictures especially of horses.  Susan loved music, boating and camping, playing her guitar, raising and co-training Tennessee Walking Horses. She deeply loved and was intensely devoted to her family.  Her closest friends fondly remember her compassionate willingness to share comfort, strength, and laughter whenever they needed loving support.
